Each campaign in detail

Recall: brake servo vacuum hose (1.0 T-GDi)
Manufacturer recall
Recall 61DT02: on i20s with a 1.0 T-GDi engine built between 18 August 2015 and 21 September 2020, a badly positioned vacuum hose can vibrate and crack, which reduces braking efficiency. The hose is replaced with an optimised part and the brake servo is checked at a dealer. Check the serial number on the Rappel Conso site or with Hyundai.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

10 July 2026 — Les véhicules équipés d'un moteur à essence 1,0 t-gdi peuvent avoir un tuyau d'aspiration mal acheminé, ce qui fait que l'entrée d'aspiration reste sous pression et génère des vibrations qui pourraient entraîner des fissures du tuyau, ce qui pourrait réduire l'efficacité du freinage et augmenter le risque d'accident.
